Chapter 1. Introduction
The IBM
Netfinity
EXP15 Storage Expansion Unit is a compact
unit that provides high-capacity small computer system interface
(SCSI) disk storage. It delivers fast, high-volume data transfer,
retrieval, and storage functions across multiple drives, to multiple
hosts. The expansion enclosure is designed for continuous, reliable
service; its modular, redundant disk drives, power supplies, and
fans use hot-swap technology for easy replacement without shutting
down the system.
The expansion unit supports Fast Wide and Ultra SCSI for both low
voltage differential (LVD) and single-ended (SE) host SCSI
interfaces. The drive interface is single-ended (SE). Designed for
easy installation and integration into a wide range of system
environments, the expansion unit is available in a variety of
configurations.
Take a moment to record your expansion unit serial number in the
table in “Record the Identification Numbers” on page 75, then refer
to the Chapter 2, “Installation Setup” on page 13 for instructions for
setting up your expansion unit.
This chapter contains an overview of the expansion unit features
and components.
